But if Reigns beats Bryan at Fastlane I think it would do more damage than good, in terms of winning over the fans.

I think Reigns needs a solid one on one match at Fastlane, to make him look strong going into Wrestlemania. I can't think of singles match that Reigns stood out

[DomDom1984]

I agree, but we've seen how stubborn WWE can be at times, and we've also seen the weird roundabout way WWE do things. It makes sense from a WWE booking sense.

[Andre91]

Whatever it is, it will be something to try and get people cheering for Reigns, rather than booing him.

[When Jokers Attack]

I think it will be something to do with The Rock coming out to help Reigns, and that Reigns wouldn't have won without his cousin, so they're stripping him of the Rumble win (a real cheap way to try and get the crowd to sympathise with him and stop the boos by having The Authority suppress him).

That would be stupid, they already started buiding Lesnar/Reigns on Raw so they aren't going to change their mind now. Rock didn't even help him win, Big Show and Kane both got eliminated then came in after to attack.

Is Lesnar advertised for Fast Lane? If so they should do a tag match with Bryan/Reigns vs Lesnar/Sheamus or something.

If not it will be Reigns vs Big Show and Kane, handicap match.

They won't do a triple threat again and they done two Bryan matches last year.

I think the simple reason he isn't still main event is his size. Benoit was only a main eventer for 6 months then straight back to mid card. It doesn't help that there is only one title now either. If they still had two, things may be different, remember Rey and Eddie got more pushes, only because HHH, Edge, Cena were on Raw. With there been one title, spaces are limited at the top.

Does it really matter if the main event last year was a triple threat? Adding Rollins would at least make the match more interesting.

Regardless of if he is or isn't headline size he is the most popular wrestler at the moment.

[Andre91]

Triple H said in his interview with Michael Cole that the RAW announcement is to do with the outcome of the Rumble and that he went back and watched the match and it "Just wasn't right" and that the whole world knew it wasn't right and voiced their opinions.

I now think that Triple H is going to troll everyone and Curtis Axel not getting eliminated is going to be his way of doing it

[DomDom1984]

It's The Rock coming out that wasn't right. I absolutely guarantee it. Reigns is now going to have to go through another match and win, like many others before him. And win.

[Andre91]

Yeah that's most probably it, although I'm still leaning towards a troll

Reigns vs. Rusev to decide who the winner would have been had The Rock not voided Show & Kane's interference. Rusev is about to win, Cena comes out and makes the save for Reigns. Show closes with Cena raising Reigns' arm. That's something I could see them doing actually.

[When Jokers Attack]

Cena vs Rusev had already been announced for fast lane.

The thing with The Rock coming out is that it had no effect on the match. I could understand if Show and Kane weren't eliminated. All he done was stop the beat down. He didn't even touch Rusev. Are they treating Smackdown tonight as a Raw?

The announcement will hopefully be the return of D-Von. It didn't look right having Truth take his place.

Technically yeah The Rock didnt help Reigns eliminate Rusev, but if Show and Kane beat Reigns down, Rusev could have still come out from under the ring or wherever he was and easily eliminate Reigns. I actually think Rusev winning would have got more cheers than Reigns.

Who could Reigns have a strong singles match against and beat. I suppose he could go against Rollins, but him against Kane or Show wouldnt really prove much.

[luckysalt]

Read the spoilers from all the UK tapings. Sounds pretty good.

18 months ago I returned to watching wrestling after a break for the best part of 10 years, luckily with the WWE network I will eventually catch up what happened during that time. I enjoy the character of Daniel Bryan but (maybe its because I have missed some of the back story) not to the extent that I think he needs to win every match,headline every ppv, as many seem to think. The idea that the most popular good guy/most hated bad guy always headlines wrestlemania just doesn't hold up when you look at previous events. Its also true that you don't need to headline to steal the show, Austin v Hart and Michaels v HBK come to mind.

I personally didn't like the potential Lesnar V Bryan match up as I didn't think it was realistic for Brock to plough through so many people and then lose to someone so small in comparison. I also suspect that Brock has some influence on his booking and may feel that loss negatively effects his brand wherever he ends up. Providing he stays healthy Bryan will wrestle at wrestlemania and probably have a good match, I don't think this needs to be in the main event

[jump]

I doubt Lesnar gives a shit, he lost his last match before he left WWE and on his return he lost too. He's more intrested in get $$$ with having to constantly tour which is why he left in the first place and if he's on the way out I can't see them letting him have demands.

[Mouseboy11]

Really enjoying the free month of WWE network. Watched Wrestlemania 17 and ECW One Night Stand so far, Joey Styles always cracks me up. "Oh my godddddddddd"

[lharris92]

Really annoyed with the network at the moment cause most of the time it just seems to want to buffer then show a minute or two tops of whatever I'm watching and repeat. Doesn't happen on Netflix (similar kind of service) but does on this. Best it worked was for a replay of the rumble... Managed a whole hour and a half before buffering which was a miracle considering. Will have to check my laptop to see if there is a problem but when I checked the other day there wasn't. Might have to try it on the tablet instead

[When Jokers Attack]

Maybe your browser?

Well done to those who called Reigns/Bryan at Fast Lane. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Edit: spelling all wrong, too early in morning.

^Reigns has to turn heel now, it makes no sense otherwise.

[The Nal]

Another Royal Rumble which means fuck all.

The crowd wee hardly beside themselves with Bryans win. Cringing interview at the end.

Heres the Austin/HHH podcast.

I cant really see a way Reigns can come out of Fastlane with more support than what he has now, if he wins he beats the crowd favourite, if he loses he is out of Mania Main event and back to square 1. I dont see how he can win from this

[DomDom1984]

He's between a rock and a hard place anyways, regardless of who he faces. Ideal scenario is that he loses and gets more time, the same way they did it with Ryback. Get him out of the main event picture altogether.

[The Nal]

I like Reigns. Ive no interest in a Lesnar vs Bryan Wrestemania match.

[When Jokers Attack]

Reigns will go over Bryan.

I think they are doing this booking to keep the fans happy for now.

If Reigns loses, then who would he face at mania?

[DomDom1984]

Rollins would be my bet if it happened. Don't think it will though.

[When Jokers Attack]

They were teasing Orton on Raw, unless they do Orton/Rollins at Fast Lane.

The predictable option would be Big Show but Rusev could be use to build him up if they still want to use Roman as the company face in the long term if they don't go the boring route of a Cena rematch at Mania. Maybe a heel turned Sheamus or Luke Harper since they haven't got anyone lined up at the moment.
